Kevin Williams Retires a Vikings (My Favorite Player)

Post by HardcoreVikesFan »

When Randy Moss was inexplicably traded from the team back in 2005, I was 13 years old and I was devastated.

I eventually took solace in Kevin Williams. He become my favorite player - someone who I grew up idolizing.

It was a very sad day when he left the team back in 2014, but, I knew it was just time. I was able to see his last game as a Vikings (coincidently, the last game in the Metronome).

Nothing but love and respect for Kevin. I am glad he retired as a member of the purple. SKOL

He was one of my favorites too. Congratulations on a remarkable career, Kevin!

He was a great player .. I saw him pick six in SF in 2007 won the game for us...

Peterson was held to nothing in the game .. I believe Chester Taylor had a big play
as well.. Man, the Willams wall with Jarad Allen .. that was a great D line...

Beastly. Dominant. If only they had a good secondary. Or at least an average one.

Congrats to K-Will! Williams was a beast. And I loved it when he and Pat Williams played side-by-side! :v):
